County Executive, Veterans Service Office

“Today, on Veterans Day, we honor the brave men and women who have served our country in uniform. Their courage, sacrifice, and commitment to our nation deserve our deepest gratitude and respect. Veterans Day is an opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices made by our veterans and their families, but our responsibility to those who have served extends far beyond a single day. Here in Dane County, we are committed to ensuring that veterans and their families have access to the resources, benefits, and support they have earned. Through our Dane County Veterans Service Office, we work every day to connect veterans with health care, housing assistance, education, and other critical services.

To every veteran in Dane County and across our nation: thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your continued contributions to our communities. We are grateful for all you have given, and we remain committed to honoring your service not just with words, but with action.”
